It sounds to me like a fuel issue. Start with the fuel cap. Is the vent plugged? To check this simply loosen the cap when it bogs down. If that does not make it pick up then go to the fuel petcock, and line. Take the line lose from the carb, and see how fast the fuel comes out. If that is not it then check the carbs. The fuel inlets, or needle valves might be plugged, or even the carb bowel vents.
As for the wires smoking. You probable have a bad connection somewhere. This is very common on these old bikes.
Hope this helps.
